Good books. Very...
Good books. Very intelligent. Artemis is incredibly awesome. No cats whatsoever.

I think these books are okay, but not great.
(June 2, 2009 - 6:54 pm)
I personally like them because they're written from an intelligent perspective.

Foaly pwns. I love that guy. XD And No1's cute too.
(June 3, 2009 - 9:12 pm)
Very original, too. The Time Paradox is my favorite.

By the way, what does "pwn" mean?
I hope Eoin Colfer (awesome name) writes more... Miranda had only just come into the stories, and she was superb.

Miranda is great! I'm glad somone has made an Artemis Fowl thread.No idea what pwn means.
(June 5, 2009 - 6:03 pm)
Refresh my embarrassingly short memory. Who exactly is Miranda?? Is she the girl genuis who Artemis met in The Lost Colony?

What do you have against cats? I also like the series, but it was a little dull at times.
(June 8, 2009 - 11:23 pm)
Cats? *coughs* Long story. Warriors= cats and therefore cats= annoying, to me, anyway. And plus, who does like cats? They're gross and furry and... I don't know, I'm just not a cat person.

Couldn't put 'em down. I loved Commander Root. These authors have a knack for killing my favorite characters. (Paolini killed Brom, Riordan killed Beckendorf, Colfer killed Commander Root.)

(ALERT! Commander Kip is scheduled for a routine two-week disappearance starting at one o'clock this afternoon. Goodbye.)
*narrows eyes* Annie? Do I know you?... eh. Probably coincidence. Nevah mind.
Yeah, I was devastated when Root died! NOOO! It was so saaad... but I loved the Time Paradox. That was so sweet when Holly got to say goodbye to Root... *sob* And you guys know that Kipin is a nearly hopeless romantic in disguise, so I liked that one... part... in the zoo... y'know. That part. I liked it. XD Minerva annoys me somehow... too cliche, maybe?

Look, I just don't see why you hate cats so much! What did they ever do to you? And FYI, Warriors=anthropromorphic, and Warriors cats=not real! Real cats= amazing, good, not like Warriors.
Artemis Fowl the character (who, for some reason has the same first name as a Greek Godess - why?) was intelligent, but not very interesting to read about. I mean, come on! He's not even a good person! Personally, I liked Holly and Foaly a lot more. Oh, oops. I just looked back at what I've written, and I realized it looks like I'm saying that only good people are interesting, but what I meant was, he's not interesting OR nice. Sorry.

I doubt you've read all of the books, because if you had, you would know a) why Artemis is "named after a Greek goddess" (who was also, uh, the goddess of wisdom, so...) and b) that Artemis is not entirely "evil" and reforms to a certain extent.
I think you should finish the series if you haven't already, personally. It gets better with each book.
Just because a character isn't "nice," to use your word, doesn't mean that they can't be very interesting. And to me, intelligent equals interesting. Or maybe dumb just equals dull, either way.
I don't like cats because
1. I'm allergic :) and have therefore never been attracted to them.
2. I'm not an animal person.
3. They're furry and gross and mooderately annoying.
4. I heterodogmatize.
5. Warriors.
6. I just don't. Am I entitled to my opinions?
(June 11, 2009 - 3:58 pm)
I specifically said that I didn't mean a character had to be nice in order to be interesting, I meant he was neither, therefore making him even less apealling to read about. He's like - oh, I don't know. I'm entitled to my opinions too. And sorry, I was still in the middle of The Eternity Code when I posted, and I hadn't reached the part where he explains his name. But Artemis wasn't the goddess of wisdom though, that was Athena.

Sorry, you're right... I meant the hunt... which works for Artemis.
